Chapter 416: Is it Just a Matter of Luck for Teacher Jinghe?
After the match.
Sharon and the others found Jinghe at the "dumpster" of the tournament.
Cough.
To be more precise, it was at the abandoned venue collection point.
"Yo~(^^)"
Tyrogue was holding a large piece of stone and kept gnawing on it, making a "crunch, crunch" sound that never ceased. If one didn't know better, they'd think it was eating potato chips.
"Hengga~"
Gramps stood proudly beside him, hands on hips.
This place was where it had found the stone.
And what Tyrogue was gnawing on was the very stone that Boulderion had left behind in the arena earlier.
The reason it could trigger Boulderion's "Energy Point" ability was due to the residual energy within the stone.
This was quite tempting for Tyrogue.
If it hadn't been for the ongoing battle, Tyrogue would have rushed over long ago.
"Is he being this frugal?" Daye couldn't help but click his tongue as he watched Tyrogue sitting in the pile of stones.
Perhaps this was the difference between him and Teacher Jinghe? As a fellow 'poor' person, Teacher Jinghe didn't even let the 'dump' go to waste. Should he learn from him? After all, thriftiness is a virtue.
Flame Monkey: Do you want to hear what you're saying?
"If you need ore, I can have someone send over a plane full of it," Dawu said.
Jinghe: '.'
Is ore now measured in 'planes' as a unit?
He waved his hand and said, "No need. I'll buy more when we get back. Tyrogue is just curious about the taste, so let him have a taste."
You just wanted to charge 648, but you've opened up 10 charging ports of 6480000?
How would you transport a plane's worth of ore?
Even if Gramps had a dimensional space, how long would it take to fill it?
However, when it's time to buy, you still have to buy. No matter how poor you are, you can't skimp on education.
Once this tournament is over and the prize money is in hand, we'll buy a batch and have it shipped directly home.
"That's good," Dawu nodded in agreement, it was indeed inconvenient.
Sharon, standing beside him, showed a thoughtful expression.
It seems that next time they explore the ruins, they'll have to pay more attention to the stones.
The 32-to-16 match came to an end.
On this day, many matches took place that left the audience in awe.
However, the most talked-about match was still the one between Jinghe and Magua.
Many people expressed that this was the most exciting match since the start of the Bellflower Tournament.
Both sides demonstrated tactics beyond the average person's comprehension and understanding, resulting in a very high-level battle.
In the eyes of many, Magua's strength should not have stopped at the top 32. Unfortunately, he met Teacher Jinghe and had to withdraw.
Even in defeat, Magua received high praise.
Of course, the victorious Jinghe received even more acclaim and became the topic of conversation at many dinner tables that night.
The online discussions were also still fervent.
"I never expected that a single 'Pokemon Pokedex' could achieve such a one-string-three record against such strong opponents."
"I didn't know until I looked it up, but a Pokemon like 'Clean Rotom' is a complete bug!"
"The focus isn't on that. The focus is that such a bugged Pokemon is in Teacher Jinghe's hands!"
"I strongly suspect that Teacher Jinghe still has many tactics up his sleeve."
"+1"
"+1"
"Interrupt!"
"."
However, amidst the discussions about this match, there were also many discussions about other contestants.
For example, Dakudo.
Since his participation in the tournament, Dakudo has only shown one Pokemon and only needed one Pokemon - Darkrai - to advance to the top 16 in the preliminary round.
Against ordinary opponents, Darkrai easily overwhelmed them.
And against slightly stronger opponents, Darkrai's combination of Dark Hole and Dream Eater secured easy victories.
So far, Dakudo has not sent out a second Pokemon.
Such a dominant performance inevitably drew comparisons with Jinghe.
All that can be said is that Jinghe also had a similar performance during the Quartz League.
The difference is that Jinghe sent out all his Pokemon, while Dakudo is solely relying on Darkrai to sweep through.
Some say that Jinghe, who used all his Pokemon, has more value, while others argue that Darkrai, who has not revealed its other Pokemon, is even more formidable.
In any case, those participating in the discussion have their own opinions.
But one point that seems to be agreed upon is that Jinghe is likely to face a real challenge in this Bellflower Tournament.
Sitting in the cafe and browsing through some online information, Jinghe was also curious about Dakudo's other Pokemon.
"The schedule for tomorrow's matches is out," Wusong said, holding a tablet.
"Oh? Who am I fighting?"
Daye was the first to rush over.
Wusong's expression turned slightly solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Mr. Karu."
Karu?
The one from the Fennel Region, who served as a Gym Leader in the Galer Region and was forced to step down due to certain reasons?
Jinghe's mouth twitched as he looked at Sharon and asked, "Does the Sinnoh League have something against me?"
They're sending all these strong trainers to fight against him.
Dino and Louis are one thing, but Magua and Karu are both genuine Gym Leader-level opponents.
Karu should even be stronger than Magua.
Because Magua hasn't become a Gym Leader yet.
Jinghe knows that Karu will resume his role as the Gym Leader of the Gear Arena in the future.
If it were a normal tournament, reaching the semi-finals would be their minimum guarantee, and the chances of winning the championship are not small either.
Sharon also frowned, nodding slightly, and said, "I'll ask for you later."
"Oh, that's not necessary," Jinghe said with an awkward smile.
He felt that the Sinnoh League wouldn't resort to cheating in such matters, and the Major League should maintain its integrity.
"Is it possible..." Daye gently rubbed his chin, assuming the demeanor of a wise man, "...that it's just a matter of luck for Teacher Jinghe?"
Jinghe: "."
He patted Daye's shoulder with a smile and said amiably, "Daye, Lie Yao Lu Qian wants to challenge you."
"Sure!"
Daye was unperturbed and even a little excited. Bring it on!
"
Lie Yao Lu Qian, with cream around its mouth, bared its fangs and let out a low growl.
Why should I listen to you?
Jinghe added, "No restrictions."
Daye: "???"
"Roar!"
Even so...
"There'll be an extra meal tonight," Jinghe said with a mischievous smile, looking at Lie Yao Lu Qian.
I'm not listening to you; I'm just doing it for the extra meal!
As Daye looked on in bewilderment, Lie Yao Lu Qian grabbed his clothes and walked out.
That evening.
Jinghe, who had promised Lie Yao Lu Qian an extra meal, was diligently working in his room.
Of course, dealing with just one Lie Yao Lu Qian wouldn't be a problem, but the issue was...
"Hng!"
Gengar raised its food bowl.
"Yoo-hoo!" Tyrogue also lifted its "bedpan."
I'm done too!
"Roar—burp—"
Lie Yao Lu Qian glared and belched.
No.
It couldn't keep up with Gengar in eating; it conceded, as it was well aware of Gengar's appetite.
Can't even beat a tiny Tyrogue?!
Lie Yao Lu Qian couldn't bear it!
"Roar!"
Give me another half bowl!
Jinghe touched his forehead.
This is how our supplies get depleted; you eat more than us even when you treat Energy Cubes like rice!
It's all Daye's fault!
Daye, you just wait!
Daye, hanging from a tree, sneezed, "Am I catching a cold?"
Ding-ding—
"Phone call, Rotom!"
Rotom floated over with a phone in its hands.
Jinghe, feeling like he had been pardoned, quickly took the phone and headed to the balcony, not even checking who was calling before answering.
"Jinghe, it's me."
A familiar voice came from the phone, and only then did he glance at the caller ID.
"Dr. Bratanuo?" Jinghe was a bit surprised.
"It's like this: I'm planning to hold a symposium after a while, and I'm wondering if you have time to attend?" Dr. Bratanuo asked with a smile.
"A symposium?"
"Yes, about Super Evolution."
At this moment, Jinghe remembered that Dr. Bratanuo had previously mentioned preparing to announce some of his research on Super Evolution.
He had even shown Jinghe a portion of the paper he had already written.
Although Dr. Bratanuo still had many unanswered questions about Super Evolution, he believed that such beneficial results for the entire Pokemon world should be made public as soon as possible.
"Oh, I'm still participating in the Bellflower Tournament," Jinghe said.
"I know, so it will definitely be held after you finish the tournament."
Because of Jinghe's participation, Dr. Bratanuo and his assistant Alain had been paying attention to the Bellflower Tournament.
But soon, Dr. Bratanuo seemed to think of something, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Are you saying that you'll showcase Super Evolution in this tournament?"
This Bellflower Tournament had attracted a lot of attention, and if Super Evolution could be demonstrated in real-time battles, perhaps...
it might receive unexpected feedback.
Hmm?
Did I say that?
But it's not entirely impossible.
"I can only say there's a certain probability, but it's probably not high."
Jinghe wasn't entirely sure either.
Mainly, he felt that there didn't seem to be any opponents worth using Super Evolution against.
Even after understanding some of Dakudo's strength, Jinghe didn't feel the need to resort to Super Evolution.
Unless...
Dakudo had four Divine Beasts hidden, in addition to Darkrai and Latios.
Then things would get interesting.
If Dakudo truly had four or five Divine Beasts, Jinghe wouldn't hold back either.
Let's destroy together!
"Then..." Dr. Bratanuo hesitated.
Jinghe said,
"But I heard that after this Bellflower Tournament, a noble from Sinnoh wants to take advantage of the tournament's popularity to hold an exhibition match, inviting many powerful trainers. Perhaps the opportunity will be better then."
This was the news he had received from Sharon, and it was likely to be accurate.
It was rumored that even the Four Heavenly Kings would be invited!
If Jinghe wins the Bellflower Tournament, he will most likely be invited as well.
At that time...
The tournament's popularity will still be high, the pressure of the exhibition match will be less, and the timing will obviously be more appropriate.
"Okay." Dr. Bratanuo nodded, "Then let's wait a little longer. My research is almost done, so I'll have more time too."
"Take care and rest, Doctor," Jinghe said.
"Haha. You too, good luck in the tournament."
"Don't worry, I'll sweep through it."
